This document discusses and compares three main types of leadership styles: authoritarian, democratic, and laissez-faire. The authoritarian style involves high levels of control by the leader over team members. The democratic style values participation and unanimity through involving all team members. The laissez-faire style gives team members freedom and leaves them to work independently with little direction from the leader. It also briefly mentions transactional, transformational, and paternalistic styles as other potential types.
